BLOOD rs. CREED,

German Catholics Indignant at Criticisms
of Their Language.
CHICAGO, Aug. A.-Germans in Chicago
and throughout the northwest generally
are very indignadt over the alleged attitude
of the Irish clergy in regard to the conven-
ton of German Catholics in Chicago. In
terviews with 1rish-American priests and
bishops and extracts from semi-official
church organs in which the opinion that
the German language should be prohibited
in Catholic churches and schools as ex-
pressed have been reproduced here and
have drawn out bitter comments from the
German newspapers.
The Stats Zeitung quotes from an ar
ticle published in the Catholic Advocate,
of Louisville, in which the German Ian
guage is compared to grunts of swine and
says: IF the coming convention does not
bring out the sentiment of the Germans on
this subject in sharp contrast with the
shamelessness of the Irish, if there the Ger.
man Catholics do not take as firm stand
as the Irish have taken, then they should
without delay and as badge of their servi-
fore their names"

Steamer City Of Montreal.
LONDON, Aug. A-The City of Mon
treaps missing boat has been picked up
and the seven passengers and six members
of the crew who we're in it are safe and
well. The rescue was made on the 18th by
a German vessel named the Matilde, which
arrived at Falmouth to-day with the thir-
teen survivors on board. The rescued
men say that when their boat left the
burning steamer there were fifteen per-
sons on board. Finding it too crowded
two persons jumped aboard another boat.
There was only half keg of water in the
boat and that was bad. There was no sail
aboard and no means of signaling passing
steamers. The boat was nearly swamped
twice and the men had hard struggle to
keep her afloat by bailing. On Thursday
they sighted steamer and pulled toward
her signaling with rockets and handker-
chiefs, but the steamer passed on without
seeing them. On Friday they sighted an
other steamer at great distance. On Sat-
urday they sighted another steamer and
pulling toward it found it was the City of
Montreal still burning. They tried to
board her to obtain more water but her
plates were too hot. They drifted until
Monday when they were rescued by the
Matilda

Engineer Masterson grabbed the lever and
reversed his engine just as it plunged into
the water with baggage car and fell on
top OF his body, burying 1t in the sand. The
engine is completely submerged in the
sand: Baggagemaster Breedlone was bad
ly injured by falling trunks. An old Ger
man woman living near by heard the cries
OF the frightened people and rushed out
with lantern and stopped the approach

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S-The following

ing Fort Duchesne, Utah, dated August
10th: "Colorow has his followers with him,
about $50 in all, including men, women and
children. There are no indications of his
being reinforced. All the Indians at
Unitah and Ouray want peace. I believe
Colorow would come to the reservation if
he he could get there without being attacked.
Most OF the party who went out with Mr..
Andrews have returned to the agency be-
ing frightened back. They claim that Col
crows camp could not be found. Great
anxiety is manifested concerning Chepita.
If the cow boys have harmed her 1 antici-
pate it will end in serious trouble. l say
to the Indians that hope she is with Col
GROW or may be is prisoner at Glenwood
Springs. | wish the latter could be ascer-
tanned" This is the first time the name
of Chepita has been mentioned. Although
nothing is known of her here it is pre-

moval for cause shall accompany the
power of appointment. Also that it is the
